This file is auto-generated from the SuperTux source code, using the template ScriptingPage.md.

Summary

A TextArrayObject that was given a name can be controlled by scripts. Supports all functions and variables of Text, applying them to the current text item. If no text item is available, calling functions or using variables of Text (other than set_text()) will result in an error.

Intended for scripts with narration.

Instances

A TextArrayObject is instantiated by placing a definition inside a level. It can then be accessed by its name from a script or via sector.name from the console.

Inheritance

This class inherits functions and variables from the following base classes:

• GameObject
